The following
statement conforms to the principles of disclosure of the National Council on
Public Polls:

How this poll was conducted: This
SurveyUSA poll was conducted by telephone in the voice of a professional
announcer. Respondent households were selected at random, using Random Digit
Dialed (RDD) sample provided by Survey Sampling, of Fairfield CT, unless
otherwise indicated on the individual poll report. All respondents heard the
questions asked identically. Within the report, you will find: the geography
that was surveyed; the date(s) interviews were conducted and the news
organization(s) that paid for the research. The number of respondents who
answered each question and the margin of sampling error for each question are
provided. Where necessary, responses were weighted according to age, gender,
ethnic origin, geographical area and number of adults and number of voice
telephone lines in the household, so that the sample would reflect the actual
demographic proportions in the population, using most recent U.S.Census
estimates. In theory, with the stated sample size, one can say with 95%
certainty that the results would not vary by more than the stated margin of
sampling error, in one direction or the other, had the entire universe of
respondents been interviewed with complete accuracy. There are other possible
sources of error in all surveys that may be more serious than theoretical
calculations of sampling error. These include refusals to be interviewed,
question wording and question order, weighting by demographic control data and
the manner in which respondents are filtered (such as, determining who is a
likely voter). It is difficult to quantify the errors that may result from
these factors. Fieldwork for this survey was done by SurveyUSA of Clifton, NJ.
